Ground wire inside distributor
Where can I get the little bare, braided wire inside the distributor that grounds the breaker plate to the distributor body? My new distributor had the points removed, and the wire is missing.

I have made them out of Stranded copper Wire and Crimped on (ring Terminal Sta-kons) !
It looked better than Factory !

Distributor internal ground
To answer my own question, it is P/N Echlin ECH LW35, and is listed as a "Distributor Lead Wire - Ground". Cost: 99 cents. These are somewhat generic, and about 2" long. Replace this when you get a chance.
NAPA has it. Three other stores barely knew it existed, even with the part number!
